Hi guys, just to let you know that the second round of the NDS drift series will be held on the 20th September in PE on the scribante circuit.... Have got confirmation from drivers all over the country and it looks likethis could be the biggest event in SA so far... Lots of CT guys, Joburg guys, guys from east london and so on, so should be lots of fun... 3 classes.. street, amateur and pro... Try make it down here if you can.....
Not to be rude but is that section for the drifting tight enough to carry a drift through the corners??
we running the drifting anti clock... where the orange starts(top left), on that straight, handbrake in...do the switch and slow down on the last straight section.. actually very easy...looks difficult from the pic... ive got it right a couple times clock wise from main straight to end of orange section...my skyline vid, and thats a stock chassis with a bit f power...
Rumour has it that there will be a few nice drag cars to, so if you have the power come have a straight line run as well 😉 the more the better!

we all know you've proven yourself in the engineering arena and the drag arena. no questions.
but you seem to stay away from the drifting. any chance of one of your cars or maybe yourself trying out the drifting???
nothing in the pipeline there???
Ive tried it and ive built a few pretty hard core cars like that RXM white S14, it just doesn’t interest me personally.
I am actually not into drag either, all the cars ive done in SA so far (besides the drift) have all been street or street/track cars not drag, I just prefer to use the 400m to prove the ability to have a fast, reliable and drivable street car... besides, how many full street cars do you see in the 11's and 12's 😀
Cool.... if they be built for track... this weekend is gymkhana at scribante.... bring em down... i'll be in my daily....buddy going down in his atom... should be fun

Hey Guys, just an update on what happened at the event for everyone who couldnt make it down...
We had 7000 - 8000 people that came through the gates... to say the least it was a successful event...
The day started out with drags which ran from 12 to 3pm, rain came down for about 20 minutes or so, we were actually very lucky as typical PE weather is shit... Perfect sunny day, no wind from about 3 onwards...
Drift Practice started after drags and the compo started at about 4.30..
We had 3 classes on the day, Street Legal, Amateur and the Pro class
The street and amateur classes ran a short course, being the scribante s's only while the Pro guys ran a 4 switch course which started from the main straight...
Ernest Page from CT did the judging, setting up clipping points on the course for the various classes.. This is what happened.....
